City Academy’s Songbirds Choir is our longest-running and only all-female choir - a powerhouse of music, community, and performance. With a repertoire spanning Pop, Gospel, Musical Theatre, Folk, Acappella, and Classical, this choir celebrates female voices and empowers singers to shine both on and off the stage.

Led by Musical Director Katherine Hare, Songbirds offers the chance to rehearse weekly, perform to audiences of up to 400, and take the spotlight with solo opportunities accompanied by a professional band. Members also benefit from an active social network of strong, like-minded women, making Songbirds a choir that’s as much about community as it is about music.

Over the years, Songbirds has enjoyed the limelight with high-profile performances - from sharing the stage with Dionne Warwick, to appearances on The X Factor (ITV) and Pitch Battle (BBC). They were also recently recognised with a special commendation from the UK Choir Festival.
